A bulbous rooted plant, with 
a strong, penetrating odor, 
but much esteemed by some 
for flavoring soups, stews, etc. 
We frequently receive orders 
for garlic seed, but we can only supply bulbs. Prepare 
the ground the same as for onions, and plant the bulbs in 
drills eight inches apart, and four inches apart in the rows, 
and cover two inches deep. When the leaves turn yellow, 
take up the bulbs and dry in the shade, and lay them up ina 
dry loft, as you would onions. Bulbs, 4 Lb. loc; Lb. 40c.

m The Kohl Rabi is a vege-

tween the cabbage and 
turnip, and combines the flavor of both. The edible 
part isa turnip shaped bulb formed by the swelling of the 
stem. When used for the table this should be cut when quite 
small, as it is then very tender and delicate, but if allowed to 
3 reach its full size it becomes

Belongs to the onion family and by some 
LE E preferred to that vegetable. Sow the seed 
and care for the young plants same as for 
onions, but they need a little more room in order to develop 
fully. When the young plants are about the size of a goose 
quill, transplant to a prepared bed in rows one foot apart and 
four or five inches in the row. ? - oie 
Set the roots deep and draw the S A 
earth to them when gultivat- 
ing, so that they may be well 
blanched by the time they are 
fit for use.
